Where Do I Get Stock Photos for My Website?
Nearly every website makes use of stock photography, graphics, or video. There are several options for you to choose from and you can find anything you need between these three websites.
Shutterstock
Shutterstock is our preferred source of stock photos. Of the more commonly used stock photo sites, Shutterstock has the largest library and the simplest pricing plan. They have great video and audio for your projects, too.
Price: Starts at $49.99 per month for ten images
Getty Images
Getty Images is the most high end photo website there is. They have photographers at historical and pop-culture events worldwide. They have photographers at the Super Bowl, Protests and Concerts. The biggest hindrance here for most people is the price.
Price: Photos start at $175 each for low resolution shots.
Adobe Stock
Adobe Stock is probably the easiest to integrate with your work. Most web designers and graphic designers subscribe to Adobe’s Creative Cloud. Stock’s biggest selling point is it’s direct integration with other Creative Cloud apps like Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator.
Price: 10 photos for $29.99 per month
Photodune
Photodune is the value customer’s best friend. Photodune images are by far the cheapest. They have a large selection of user submitted stock photos, which means you can easily find generic photos there. You won’t, however, find images of popular people or copyrighted things.
Price: Photos run as little as $1 each.
